In the Veneto Region, in the waters of the Adriatic, is one of the most romantic and evocative places in the world, a priceless treasure: the Venetian Lagoon.

There isn’t anywhere else on Earth where people confluence - like the way they do in Singapore. From visitors and transients to citizens, this progressive island and gateway to South East Asia is a dynamic mix of cultures, ideas and histories neither ethnic nor exotic, instead, the essence of modern Asia - sparklingly savvy, with a touch of old school. The first-time visitor should expect to be surprised, confused, and, charmed.

Visiting Venice without at least once taking a ride through the canals in a gondola is like going to New York without ascending the Empire State Building.

At the heart of this legendary Province is the Serenissima or Most Serene Republic, with its characteristic bridges spanning the canals navigated by gondolas, its monuments, piazzas, narrow lanes and silent waters. Venice is actually a group of fascinating small islands, where art and history combine with old trades and the beauty of the sea.

It is an area full of the exquisite flavors of its typical dishes and a renowned “wine list." Many opportunities for fun abound as well: outdoor sports, nightlife in the many glamorous night spots, and shopping in the typical crafts workshops to buy souvenirs.
